@farah this is friggin awful. I will personally box up some parental approval for you (I mean I'm a parent so, I can do that).

@secretsloth lol thank you! Being a parent myself and working with a therapist has helped me with a lot of it. But sometimes I still get maudlin when I think about others’ parents

@farah I do too, I kinda just don't know what "normal" parenting might have felt like, and people with normal parents and normal in-laws (even the stereotypical semi combative in-law thing) just baffle me a bit. It feels like a lot of standard life experiences, weren't there for me, and it makes it hard to relate to a lot of folks (as though autism didn't make it hard enough already lol) ugh. I try to give my kid what I didn't have.
